about me

The parenting files – because families matter – is the place to find all things parenting, children, family and relationship wellness, advice and support. It is the place to find anything for parents and children that is worth knowing about.

Coming from a psychotherapy and family therapy background, I have a strong passion to inspire and empower parents and children gain greater confidence and direction. Being a mum to my beautiful one year old daughter Edi, I also realised that there is not much out there in the way of supporting parents through some of their most toughest and darkest moments. Needing a good source of advice and information when you need it in that moment.

As well as writing regular articles for other columns, magazines, newspapers and on-line forums, including 3008docklands magazine and yourkidsed.com.au. I also run my own private practice, Direction Exploring, where I work privately with individuals, families and couples, as well as  running regular workshops and presentations for schools and community organisations across Melbourne, Australia.

I strongly believe that we don’t have to go far to find inspiration and some of our most precious moments are right there starring at us. I hope theparentingfiles will inspire everyone to see new things and realise their true unique qualities they have to inspire others.

Enjoy
